Patch Name: PHCO_28175 Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 vPar commands man pages patch Creation Date: 02/12/05 Post Date: 02/12/20 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.11 s800: 11.11 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-ENG-A-MAN,fr=B.11.11,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Category Tags: defect_repair enhancement general_release Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHCO_28175 Symptoms: PHCO_28175: ( SR:8606284463 CR:JAGae48409 ) No documentation for new I/O path requirements due to introduction of the A5838A PCI 2-Port 100Base-T, 2-Port Ultra2 SCSI Combo adapter (combo card) PHCO_26896: ( SR:8606246137 CR:JAGae12589 ) CPUs deleted from a vPar may not be immediately available for adding to another vPar, even though the vparstatus command shows them as being available. ( SR:8606257820 CR:JAGae22123 ) Customer gets an unexpected error when modifying a vPar in a state other than Up, Down, or Hung. ( SR:8606233983 CR:JAGae03205 ) The vparstatus -V option works but is not described on the vparstatus man page. ( SR:8606236534 CR:JAGae05591 ) The vPar man pages lack information about support of the vPar product on hard partition platforms such as Superdome. ( SR:8606256300 CR:JAGae20615 ) Versioning is being added to the vPars commands and monitor. It is necessary to describe what happens if the version of a command and the monitor are different. PHCO_24625: ( SR:8606206882 CR:JAGad76055 ) This patch is a member of a set of patches needed to enable the HP-UX Virtual Partitions product. When the HP-UX Virtual Partitions product (VPARSBASE or T1335AC) is installed, it will install the full set of required patches for the product, including this patch. Defect Description: PHCO_28175: ( SR:8606284463 CR:JAGae48409 ) No documentation for new I/O path requirements due to introduction of the A5838A PCI 2-Port 100Base-T, 2-Port Ultra2 SCSI Combo adapter (combo card) Resolution: Added new I/O path specification rules to vparresources(5) man page. PHCO_26896: ( SR:8606246137 CR:JAGae12589 ) The deletion operation is asynchronous with respect to the vPar database, which is where the vparstatus command gets its information. The operation itself completes at some indeterminate future time, which may be as long as tens of seconds. Resolution: This possibility is documented in the vparcreate and vparmodify man pages. ( SR:8606257820 CR:JAGae22123 ) The man page does not describe the allowable states for modifying certain attributes of the virtual partition. Resolution: Add documentation to the vparmodify man page. ( SR:8606233983 CR:JAGae03205 ) The description was inadvertently omitted, due to the feature's addition at the last moment in the development cycle. Resolution: A description of the -V option has been added to the vparstatus man page. ( SR:8606236534 CR:JAGae05591 ) The vPar product is enhanced for support on hard partition platforms such as Superdome. Therefore, the vPar man pages need additions to describe that support. Resolution: The vPar man pages are modified to add the description of changes for support of hard partition platforms. ( SR:8606256300 CR:JAGae20615 ) The internal versions of the commands and vPar monitor may differ. We need to describe the behavior of each command if they do. Resolution: Add an appropriate entry to the ERRORS section for each vPars man page. PHCO_24625: ( SR:8606206882 CR:JAGad76055 ) This patch contains man pages for the HP-UX Virtual Partitions product. Resolution: Brought manpage information up to date Enhancement: Yes PHCO_28175: Describes the proper way to configure an A5838A PCI 2-Port 100Base-T, 2-Port Ultra2 SCSI Combo adapter (combo card) using new and old semantics as well as modify existing paths in a backward-compatible manner. Additional enhancements were delivered in a patch this one has superseded. Please review the Defect Description text for more information.
